you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a

qualied service

technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs

are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is

removed for proper disposal by a qualied

technician. If you intentionally release

refrigerant, you may be subject to nes

and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on

the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,

and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the

refrigerator with insufcient power can

damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the temperature control panel, will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Electrical information

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of

the appliance is equipped with a three-

prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local

codes and ordinances. Consult a qualied

electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• Do not re-use compression tting or use thread seal tape.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, at-blade

screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

NOTE



Check with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new refrigerator. Depending on your local/ state building codes, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart

Choice® water line kit 5305513409 with a 6 ft.

(1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line, and for homes without an existing valve Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve. Please refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Priming the water supply system

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

1 Begin lling the system by pressing and

holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2 Keep the glass

in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.

3 Continue

dispensing water for about four

minutes to ush the system and plumbing

connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

NOTE



The water dispenser has a built-in device that

shuts off the water ow after three minutes

of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE



Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.

Dispenser

(varies by model)

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will

ll the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense

some ice to force the ice forward in the bin.

This will allow the bin to ll completely.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice per 24 hours.

In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.

Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & of f.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.

NOTE



The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the rst time, be sure

to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system

is not ushed, the rst ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd avor.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature

to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s ll valve

may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

IMPORTANT

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more

frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water lter needs to be replaced. As the water lter nears the end of its

useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months or longer since you last changed your water

lter, replace the water lter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the lter to be changed more frequently.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice bin

- Water valve opening or closing

- Running water

• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an

odd avor. Empty the ice bin as explained

below.

• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to

have a small quantity of little pieces along

with the whole cubes.

• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your

container before adding liquids.

• It is normal for ice to ll to the top of the ice bin.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1 Turn off

the ice maker.

2 Remove

the ice bin by pulling straight out.

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.

Removing Ice Bin

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree

turns (see below) until the ice bin ts into

place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER - FREEZER (SELECT MODELS)

Operation & Care of the Freezer Ice Maker (select models)

After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours.

When using the ice maker for the rst time, and

in order for it to work properly, it is necessary

to clear air from the water tubing and the lter. Furthermore, if the system is not ushed, the rst ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd avor. Once the ice maker begins making ice, allow the bin to ll completely, then discard the rst FULL bin of ice on a Standard Depth model, and the rst TWO FULL bins of ice on a Counter

Depth model.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce between 2 and

2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 12 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 7 pounds of ice.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s

ll valve may make a loud chattering noise

when it attempts to operate without water.

Turning the ice maker on and off

The ice maker is turned off and on by lifting/ lowering the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.

Ice maker tips

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice bin

- Water valve opening or closing

- Running water

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd

avor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.

Quick Ice Function

Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick Ice

Function for freezing food at a faster rate, but it can also increase ice production. This function terminates automatically after 12 hours. This function affects only the ice

maker in the freezer.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1 Turn off the ice maker. 2 Remove the ice bin. 3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer. 5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on. Remove and empty the ice bin if an extended

power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

• Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.

• Avoid placing food in front of air ports. (See Controls Section for illustration.)

Fruits and vegetables

• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps

preserve food quality for longer time

periods.

• Wash items and remove excess water.

• Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content.

Meat

• Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or surfaces.

• Use the deli drawer to store meat/poultry for short-term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen.

Frozen food storage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.

• A freezer operates most efciently when it is at least ⅔ full.

Packaging foods for freezing

• To minimize food dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color,

and develop an off-avor (freezer burn).

• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the freezer

• Prior to grocery shopping, activate “quick ice” so that on your return you can ensure your newly purchased food designated for

the freezer will be preserved as quickly as

possible.

• Activating “quick ice” also will help your

freezer more efciently maintain the

selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.

• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

• Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to

freeze as quickly as possible.

Ideas for saving energy

Installation

• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.

• Do not place the refrigerator next to heatproducing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more

efciently.

• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

Temperature settings

• Refer to the “Controls” section for procedures on temperature settings.

Food storage

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.

• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.

• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

• Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme temperature change may damage the glass.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efciency refrigerator may

introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating

correctly. Some surfaces on oors, walls, and

kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.

The following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

A Evaporator Refrigerant through the

evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B Evaporator fan You may hear air being

forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.

C Defrost heater During defrost cycles,

water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

D Automatic ice maker When ice has

been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas

uid may create sounds from its operation.

E Electronic control & automatic

defrost control These parts can produce

a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.

F Condenser fan You may hear air being

forced through the condenser.

G Compressor Modern, high-efciency

compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a highpitched hum or pulsating sound.

H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each

time it opens to ll the ice maker.

I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear

water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

J Condenser May create minimal sounds

from forced air.

K Motorized damper May produce a light

humming during operation.

L Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing

ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound.

NOTE

Energy efcient foam in your refrigerator is

not a sound insulator.

NOTE

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
